Les coureuses du Tour de Catalogne Féminin avaient rendez-vous ce jeudi avec l’étape la plus dure des trois jours de course en Espagne. Avec plus de 2000 m de dénivelé positif sur les 73 km séparant Baga du Coll de Pal, cette seconde étape avait tout pour créer des écarts importants en vue du classement général final. Et cela n’a pas manqué puisque l’immense favorite, Demi Vollering (FDJ-Suez), a relégué toutes ses adversaires à plus de deux minutes en attaquant à 10 km de l’arrivée. Seule Marion Bunel (Team Visma | Lease a Bike) a su tenir la roue de la Néerlandaise pendant l’ascension finale, avant de finalement échouer à 30 secondes de la nouvelle leader du classement général. C’est Femke De Vries (Team Visma | Lease a Bike) qui prend la troisième place de l’étape en devançant Elise Chabbey (FDJ-Suez) sur la ligne.

00:00let's see there is the k to go now as i say there has been conversation going on it seemed to be

00:09interesting enough mostly the 20 year old marian bunnell talking to demi vollering so i don't know

00:15whether she's been offering her something there's the finish line oh gosh it looks a little bit

00:19windier up there doesn't it i guess they are right on the top the wind funneling over the top of the

00:24climb there to make it look much windier it is a headwind notably too so if you come down

00:29to a sprint between these two my estimation looking at those flapping flags up there is you

00:34might want to come from behind if you do and leave it a little bit late we will see vollering starting

00:38to step on it a little bit more here now that's another lift she hasn't been getting out the

00:42saddle very often and she's just put about a bike's length into marian bunnell what a tantalizing

00:48preview we're getting here uh to this summer's tour de france fama vex with and what kind of game is

00:55marian bunnell going to go on to play in that race not just in this instance but in the years to come

00:59she's a winner of last year's tour de l'avenir when she was still riding for saint michel mavic

01:03hubert 93 and here she is riding for visma lisa bike and just getting distanced by demi vollering as

01:09well final what 600 meters now and now demi vollering start to turn it on she's had a look up the inside

01:14and see she's got the gap different form now isn't it the bobbing head and the rocking shoulders as she

01:19starts to really pile it on demi vollering is going to take this stage by the looks of it at the moment

01:24because bunnell is now starting to grind what a fantastic ride by the 20 year old for visma lisa

01:30bike back there she can be very proud of this and it's going to probably take her up to second place

01:33on gc but vollering is now piling on the coals look at this out the saddle breathing an awful lot harder

01:39she has paced this 20 kilometer climb seemingly perfectly to give herself an opportunity to really

01:44open up the afterburners and look at that that's a telling sign as well marian bunnell looking over her

01:48shoulder she's got plenty of cars behind her so i don't think she will get caught one minute 49 was

01:53their gap back to the group behind being led by paula patino but it is this rider we're watching

01:58who's wearing the points leader's jersey looking after it for yesterday's winner elise chabbe we said

02:03after the finish yesterday and chabbe herself said it will be her chance to pay back tomorrow she's done

02:08exactly that but she is going to also salvage probably a top what top five place if not more top three

02:14possibly overall in this race today chabbe from behind but it is today all about demi vollering

02:21the winner of the welter just a few weeks ago back on spanish turf proving herself to be the best stage

02:28racer in the world again and she rounds the final corner to the summit demi vollering has come here to

02:36prove why she chose this race over the tour of britain she needed the big climbs 20 kilometer this final

02:41climb today up to the ski station at la molina i think we all knew that demi vollering was the best

02:46climber in the race and she is proving it she'll take over the race lead in the volta cyclista

02:54catalonia femenina with that but what a brilliant ride by the rider who's going to come in in second

02:59here marian bunnell at the age of 20 the french woman who won the tour de l'avenir

03:05last year last year and hanging on to demi vollering until what was it about

03:13what was that about a kilometer inside the kilometer to go they went through

03:17past the uh the flam rouge together she comes in second 31 seconds down what a fantastic ride by marian

03:23and she's going to salvage her top three place in the general classification by this for sure

03:35great ride by the attacking of uh paula patino behind the colombian looking like she might be

03:41coming back to these two if they look at each other a bit too much this is for the bonus seconds

03:46elise chavez starts to lift it now femka devris wants them too it is on the line four bonus seconds

03:52plus the gap they have on patino and others and now femka devris starts to open up as well

03:56devris looking like she might have this what shabby got left actually shabby might have something can

04:01she come off the wheel and get those bonus seconds it's going to be really close between these two
